Default Front bumper light bar

So I'm thinking about getting a light bar that I can mount in my bumper. I think its like a 20 or 22 inch one. Anyone know where I can get one for around $40-80?

Yes, this is the one I installed a couple weeks back.

20" will fit perfectly. You could remove the webbing on the outer portion and go bigger if you wanted. As far as price, I went with an eBay bar. Cheap, I don't doubt there are better bars out there, but it works good for the dollar.

30". Three of them. They're down to about $40 on amazon. $20 for the relay harness.

I removed the honeycomb at the edges of the lower opening.

Keep in mind that the lower grill area is the air space for the factory transmission cooler (when equipped). If you tow, you're restricting quite a bit of air flow to this cooler, and would be defeating the purpose of that cooler somewhat.

Is that one a 24 inch? Just making sure it'll fit with no problems

How'd you wire yours? To a switch?

Yes, that's the 24", but the bar itself was like 21" or 22". The 24" they advertise it as includes the mounting brackets.

I bought the Rigid harness off of Amazon and wired it to a switch.

It's super bright for the size.
